The Union employed this concept.
When it became clear that there would be no decisive battle to destroy the Confederate armies, a new strategy was put in place by US President Lincoln and Lieutenant General US Grant. The idea might be called total war, in that civilians who owned supplies in the South, allowed for the Southern armies to continue to wage battle. The Northern strategy was then turned into a "total war", where any property or assets owned by Southern civilians were destroyed. This caused supply problems for the Southern armies. Another term for what happened was that the Union applied what can be called a strategy of exhaustion.
